Jewish Cultural Historical Museum

Curacao has a large and active Jewish community. A national treasure is the beautiful Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue; the oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere (and it’s still in use, too). The Jewish Cultural Historical Museum is a part of the synagogue and it exhibits many valuable artifacts from Jewish history. The synagogue and the Jewish Cultural Historical Museum share the same entrance, so it’s definitely worth visiting both.
